Trust & Estates and Elder Law

ROSSI & CROWLEY, LLP has a significant practice in planning and administering estates headed by partner Theresa Crowley. As with other areas of our practice, we seek to provide individualized, independent representation for our clients, under the central theme that no two clients' needs and wishes are the same. From a "simple" Will to a complex trust, each matter presents unique challenges and needs. Particularly with estate planning and administration, we have found that individual and personal concerns are of paramount importance to our clients.
 
We have represented clients in drafting Wills containing various tax savings and spendthrift provisions, and when in the best interest of the client, we have prepared inter vivos trusts that help to avoid probating a Will.
 
In conjunction with this area of practice, we also assist clients in the field that has become known as Elder Law. We have provided advice and planning for Medicaid qualification, complex powers-of-attorneys, health care proxies, and we have assisted clients with related issues faced by elderly clients and their families.

 ROSSI & CROWLEY, LLP has a wide range of experience in litigating matters affecting decedent estates and related issues. Because of our experience in trying cases and administering estates, we are uniquely suited to handle litigation in the Surrogate's Courts, and have done so on many occasions. We are frequently retained by other attorneys to handle contested matters in various Surrogate's Court proceedings.
 
We have represented clients in Will contests, contested accounting proceedings, kinship hearings, proceedings to remove fiduciaries, disputes concerning inter vivos and testamentary Trusts, litigation concerning the rights and duties of those operating under powers-of-attorney, and other matters typically handled in the Surrogate's Court.
